    Restored Jade Gate at Yumen Pass in 2012 Living with the Past The following oral history interview was undertaken by the writer Sang Ye in early 2006 as part of the China Heritage Project's collective contribution to the book The Great Wall of China, edited by Claire Roberts and Geremie R. Barmé, produced by Powerhouse Publishing, Sydney, in association with the China Heritage Project. The book, which contains the following interview, was launched on 27 September 2006 at the opening of The Great Wall of China exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum. (See China Heritage Quarterly, No. 6) An Interview with Cao Hai by Sang Ye, Translated by Geremie R Barmé Cao Hai was the 52-year-old former head of the Jade Pass cultural relics protection office at the remains of the Jade Pass, which is under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang in Gansu province, west China. *** 1 The Jade Gate in 2006 before Restoration During the reign of Liu Che, Emperor Wu (140–87 BCE) of the Western Han dynasty (also known as Han Wudi), attempts to mollify the aggressive Xiongnu tribes to the north of Han territory were abandoned in favor of more robust defenses and war. The walls built during the Qin dynasty were enlarged and extended. The westernmost point of these long walls was at Jade Pass, or Yumen Guan, or Yumenguan, in what is today Gansu province. The Jade Pass, built some 1500 years before the Ming walls, stands, a solitary sentinel, near the ancient oasis of Dunhuang, a key station on the Silk Road, and bordering on modern-day Xinjiang.

  • Banks, and Therefore Their History to Some Degree Reflects the Achievements and Destines of Typical Chinese Merchants at the Time
    Powerful informal institutional arrangements in a weak legal environment: A study of the governance structure in the Chinese Shanxi piaohao Abstract1 Shanxi piaohao, arguably are the most important Chinese indigenous financial institutions in Chinese economic history, emerged in one particular province. In a weak legal environment to protect shareholders’ capital, these Shanxi piaohao developed a unique governance structure to discipline and incentivise far flung employees. During their existence, the piaohao dominated the Chinese domestic remittance market for decades and made a great contribution to the economy. However, as with their expansion and together with the external business environment became more unpredictable, the piaohao’s governance structure began malfunctioning. Concentrating on their management and incentive mechanism, this paper explores how the piaohao successfully governed their distant employees at first but failed to manage their employees and innovate their governance structure as they developed. In 1823, in a small town in Shanxi, there emerged a firm named Rishengchang. For the first time we see a firm naming itself a piaohao [票号], which means a business enterprise [hao 号] that specialises in transmitting drafts [piao 票]. Following this, a group of piaohao sprang up in three towns in the same province, Pingyao, Qixian and Taigu, which quickly opened branches all over China. As China’s first financial intermediaries specialising in remittances, these Shanxi piaohao for decades played an important role in the Chinese financial market. However, almost a hundred years after they set up, their whole system collapsed and the piaohao disappeared from history. During their existence, the Shanxi piaohao made a great contribution to the Chinese economy.

  • Central Asia in Xuanzang's Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western
    Recording the West: Central Asia in Xuanzang’s Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western Regions Master’s Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Laura Pearce Graduate Program in East Asian Studies Ohio State University 2018 Committee: Morgan Liu (Advisor), Ying Zhang, and Mark Bender Copyrighted by Laura Elizabeth Pearce 2018 Abstract In 626 C.E., the Buddhist monk Xuanzang left the Tang Empire for India in a quest to deepen his religious understanding. In order to reach India, and in order to return, Xuanzang journeyed through areas in what is now called Central Asia. After he came home to China in 645 C.E., his work included writing an account of the countries he had visited: The Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western Regions (Da Tang Xi You Ji 大唐西域記). The book is not a narrative travelogue, but rather presented as a collection of facts about the various countries he visited. Nevertheless, the Record is full of moral judgments, both stated and implied. Xuanzang’s judgment was frequently connected both to his Buddhist beliefs and a conviction that China represented the pinnacle of culture and good governance. Xuanzang’s portrayal of Central Asia at a crucial time when the Tang Empire was expanding westward is both inclusive and marginalizing, shaped by the overall framing of Central Asia in the Record and by the selection of local legends from individual nations. The tension in the Record between Buddhist concerns and secular political ones, and between an inclusive worldview and one centered on certain locations, creates an approach to Central Asia unlike that of many similar sources.

  • Transport Policy in Perspective : 2005
    TRANSPORT POLICY IN PERSPECTIVE : 2005 Preface Automobiles made rapid advances in the last century, surpassing railways to take over the main role of surface transport, and contributed greatly to the advancement of global socio-economic systems. Therefore, the 20th Century is very much "the Century of Automobiles". Automobiles are now playing a major role in moving people and transporting goods. Our lifestyles and the economy are based upon the mobility provided by automobiles in all aspects of our society, from where we live and how we do business. Our "automobile-dependent society" has become the base for more affluent lifestyles. On the other hand, road traffic problems including traffic accidents, traffic congestion, and environmental problems such as global warming and air pollution, social problems including the transport poor, urban sprawl and the decline of city centers, are widely acknowledged as serious problems throughout the world. Under these circumstances, we are reaching a major turning point in the movement toward a mature motorized society for the 21st Century. Fortunately, advanced road traffic systems and next generation motor vehicles that will be safer as well as more environmentally friendly are beginning to emerge. These include technological innovations for motor vehicle themselves, such as less polluting and more efficient hybrid motor vehicles, and the development of intelligent motor vehicles and roads that use ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) technology. In addition to the globalization of our economy, we must reassess the significance of roads and motor vehicle traffic systems in the overall transportation system in Japan, where the society has become more urbanized while the total population is declining and the population is aging rapidly.

I attempt to reveal connections between the colonial past and socialist “present”. I also aim to reveal both the idiosyncrasies of Japanese colonialism vis-à-vis Western colonialism from the perspective of the built environment, and the similarities and connections of urban construction between the colonial and socialist regime, despite antithetically propagandist banners, to unfold the shared value of anti-capitalist pursuit of exploring new visions of and different paths to the modern.
